Unrestrained Laughter - Instance 1

About a moth ago, my roommate and I were sitting in our living room, watching TV when we both suddenly broke out into a fit of unrestrained laughter. To understand my story, one needs to be familiar with Tish Simmond's "in my mums car" Vine. For those of you who are unfamiliar, here is a link to the Vine. Just a little background, Tish's Vine, in which she pretends to drive her mom's car and then proceeds to be kicked out, has gone viral. It has been shared, emailed, revined, and retweeted time and time again. It has also lead to the creation of numerous parodies that too have become famous. I honestly would be surprised if anyone that has even just a minimal social media presence hasn't seen it. This leads me back to my story.

My roommate cannot stand this Vine. He thinks it is stupid, annoying, and far overused. He gets aggravated anytime he comes across it. To be honest, I can't even remember what we were watching or what even happened. All I know is something sad appeared on the screen, and you can imagine my shock when my roommate opened his mouth and said "awww....." in, I guarantee you, the exact same voice as Tish! The room fell silent. He slowly turned his head to see if I had noticed. To his embarrassment, I was already staring at him with a smirk. We immediately both fell to the floor laughing and pretty much crying. I couldn't breathe, and my stomach began to hurt.

If anyone else had been in the room who didn't have the background knowledge of my roommate's utter hatred for that Vine, he/she would probably have thought that we were crazy. I don't even know if my description of the events here makes sense to you all. All I know is that it was hilarious. What made it so funny was its incongruity. Since my roommate had avidly displayed his discontent with the Vine to me and was always bad-mouthing it, his response was completely unexpected. And although it might have been a little embarrassing for him at first, I believe the incident has done nothing but made us better friends.
